174 FISHES OF SAN DIEGO—EIGENMANN. 
GADIDZ. 
Merlucius productus (Ayres). 
E. & E., ’90, 21. 
Only three specimens of this species have been observed. The first 
was taken November 6, the other two January 9. 
PLEURONECTIDZ. 
Citharichthys sordidus (Girard). 
J. & G., 80, 23; R. Smith, 80; J. & G., ’80a, 453; id., ’81, 67; id., 82, 817; R. Smith, 
85, June; E. & E., ’89 (as P. californicus). 
In deep water with Rock Cod. The first of the season were inde- 
pendently brought by several boats on October 7, 1889. It became 
quite abundant by the end of the month, but was never taken in quan- — 
tity. It was seen as late as February 24. Whether it is not also | 
found later, as is probable, I am unable to say. It hasaready market, — 
but as only a few are caught it is of no great economic importance. 
x Eopsetta jordani (Lockington). i 
E. & E., ’90, 23. i 
Only a single specimen has so far been recorded from San Diego — i 
waters. It was taken in about 100 fathoms outside the bay. i 
Paralichthys californicus (Ayres). 
Girard, Pacific R. R. Survey, x, 147, 1859 (as P. maculosus); J. & G., ’80, 27; R. | 
Smith, ’80; J. & G.,’80a, 454; id., 81, 66; id., 82, 821; R. Smith, ’85, June. _ 
The young of this species are abundant in San Diego Bay through-- \ 
out the year. The adult, or rather half grown, enter the bay in Feb- 
ruary. The species is taken with hook and line off wharves and in 
seines. Those caught in seines aremostly too small for capture. Near 
San Pedro large quantities of this species are taken with trawls about — 
5 miles off shore, in shallow water (5 fathoms) with sandy bottom. | 
Similar methods have not been attempted at San Diego. | 
Hippoglossina stomata E. & E. 
E. & E., ’90, 22. 
Known from two specimens taken in deep water November 7, 1889. 
The eggs measure 1,2 millimeters in diameter; the singleoil globule, 0.16, 
ee 
Xystreurys liolepis J. & G. 
E. & E., ’89a. 
This species entered the bay during October and November. It was | 
never in great abundance. 
Pleuronichthys coenosus Girard, 
R. Smith, ’80; J. & G., 80a, 453; id.,’81, 68; id., ’82, 830; R. Smith, ’85, June, | 
Abundant with the next. It is taken with seines in the bay. We | 
found it with ripe eggs the latter part of April, and Mrs. Higennea 
procured it with ripe spawn August 22, 1882,
